Memorial Day in Korea is a sacred occasion but also ironically, an opportunity for politicians to canvass the crowds.

It's a stark contrast - nuns and monks who have separated themselves from the world and politicians who are fully engaged in the politics of government and attaining power and worldly influence.

Memorial Day should also be a solemn day this year in keeping with the recent proposed summit between Kim Jong Un and Trump (Now an accomplished fact) that offers hope of peace or detente for the entire Korean peninsula.

Maslow says you have to meet people's physical needs and security before addressing their spiritual needs but I beg to differ - the nuns and monks appeared to have already attained what the politicians can only aspire to achieve.

Have a good day, my friend.
